[DYSPHAGIA] SLP Charges

[emilybarton1@excite.com (Emily Barton)]

Hello All,

I have been asked by the Rehab Director of our small hospital to change our
current billing system.  It sounds like a rather large and difficult process
(which I am sure is why I am doing it)  HA ha
What I want to know from you out there is how you currently charge patients
(outpatients).  Do you use the code 95206 for every eval (aphasia,
dysarthria, cognitive-communication....)  and the same for treatment. 

Also, I was wondering if I can call hospitals in the area and find out what
they charge.  I have heard something about price fixing - is it wrong to
call other people and find out how much they charge?  Perhaps it is even
illegal.

Well, any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Emily
